Thanks to so many wonderful people, our flight aviary had an upgrade with new flooring and netting. This has meant that there is cushioning if someone is to fall but also means that our volunteers job of cleaning has been reduced too.

We would now like to redo the hospital aviaries and additional maintenance and would once again, we are asking for your help.

At present, we have 20 flying-foxes in care, which means on average just under 10 kilos of fruit per day will be required until next season, when the numbers will increase.

It is presently mating season, which means that babies will be arriving in 6 months time.

In the unfortunate event of yet another heat stress event, our facility may need to house many hundreds of rescued flying-foxes.
